Excellent price! I have one but the aperture isn't quite playing ball on it, so I'm tempted (even though I have one)... Gah!
Good luck with the sale

Lovely shots. I’m always reminded of the Uxbridge English Dictionary’s definition of Parsnip:
“A dad’s vasectomy”.

Our own Peter Elgar does B&W developing for very little outlay. Granted, you don't get scans, but the standard of work for developing and returning the negatives is excellent.

Hmm, an expensive paperweight at the moment I don't have the skills to take it apart and diagnose/fix
Let’s discuss…

How dare I even respond, owning a Sony body these days (though I have Pentax film cameras…).

I’d probably choose these 3;
Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2.
Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4, 8-element.
Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 (though this is just because I have two af lenses and this is one of them).

That Nokton is a doozy, not that anyone here cares 😁

My sincerest condolences to Vic’s family and friends. It’s always sad hearing of forum member’s passing.
His words remind me of a joke I heard some time ago.

I remember the last words my grandad told me before he kicked the bucket.
He said,
“How far do you reckon I could kick this bucket?”

Funnily, I don't mind a bit of grain. Digital noise can be a little harsh but I'm actually adding grain in lightroom to a lot of my pictures these days... It seems to take a clinical edge off things and suits the subjects I shoot (largely).
This is especially true for B&W images, funnily.
